Segmented switchable mirror lamp assembly

An adaptable-driving-beam headlamp for a vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted on one or more printed circuit boards;
• an inner lens aligned with the plurality of LEDs for shaping light emitted therefrom;
• an outer lens adapted to receive light from the inner lens and project the light from the vehicle;
• a camera system for imaging a forward view from the vehicle;
• a controller adapted for determining a target location based on images received from the camera system;
• and
• the outer lens comprising:
• a first transparent layer and a second transparent layer adjacent the first transparent layer;
• a switchable electrochemical film disposed between the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer, wherein the switchable electrochemical film includes a plurality of film segments;
• and
• the plurality of film segments are each individually controllable via the controller such that each of the plurality of film segments is switchable between a substantially transparent state and a substantially opaque state for actively dimming a portion of light projected from the outer lens based on the target location.

A switchable-mirror adaptable-driving-beam headlamp for a vehicle, comprising:

• a switchable mirror having a plurality of electrochemical film segments;
• a controller electrically coupled with each segment of the plurality of electrochemical film segments, such that each segment is individually controllable for switching between a substantially transparent state and a substantially reflective state;
• and
• a collimated light source directed at the switchable mirror such that each segment in the substantially reflective state reflects light from the collimated light source for projecting from a vehicle headlamp, and each segment in the substantially transparent state does not reflect light from the collimated light source.
